Hey,

 

Just installed FreeNAS and then Emby. I am not sure how I get my media files into a recognized Emby folder. Newbie here looking for help.

I recommend you have all your media files in a dataset. (e.g. tank/media)

Then you mount this dataset into emby's jail.  (e.g. /mnt/tank/media > /mnt/media)

Then you point emby at the location you mounted your media (e.g. /mnt/media/videos/movies)

Thanks for your response josh4 trunks,

 

The truth is that I don't know how to accomplish this. I am newbie extreme with this kind of stuff.

there are videos on YouTube that show how to accomplish this, and the first two steps I list are covered in the freenas manual.

 

I'm also planning on making a video+guide on setting this up, but that probably won't be for a few months.

wbennett, these pics might help.

 

Here's my Windows share:

 

 

Groups settings:

 

 

Volumes:

 

 

Permissions on media datastore:

 

 

And the mounting from the Emby jail:

 

 

I'm very new to this myself, but the above settings were working for me.  I say were, because I blew out the volume/datastore to run badblocks and add additional VDevs before I put my system into production.  I took the above screenshots so that I can easily recreated things the way I had them before, when I'm ready.
